Generations Preserved

When I picked up today's paper and I found the headline "America at War", I was reminded of another miracle in my life and family.

My grandfather served in the Civil War.

My late wife's father served in World War I.

I served in World War II.

One of my sons was called to active duty due to

the Berlin crisis.

Another son was drafted during the Vietnam War.

A granddaughter volunteered for the Iraq War.

Due to a job transfer to another city, I missed being recalled for duty in the Korean War when the reserve unit for which I had been commnding officer was activated.

The miracle? Seven wars, five generations.

After a short recovery time for the three who were injured or wounded, all were able to resume their previous careers or start new ones.
